RENEWAL is designed to offer hope and comfort to people suffering from mental health disorders or addiction disorders, and support to the people who love them. Our approach is based on respect for the dignity of the people we serve and the belief that through a faith-based program, life-changing results are possible.

RENEWAL: Christian Treatment and Recovery is an optional treatment supplement available through Brookhaven Hospital in Tulsa, Oklahoma. At Brookhaven, we understand that when you are suffering from an eating disorder, a personality disorder, a behavioral health disorder or chemical dependency, life can seem utterly hopeless. It can cause Christians to feel abandoned and distant from God. However, by strengthening your spirituality, in conjunction with our professional medical services, you can experience results that you never thought were possible.

RENEWAL is based on the belief in:

God who created us and loves us (Genesis 1:26)
Jesus Christ who redeems us (Isaiah 53:5)
The Holy Spirit who guides us (Acts 1:8)

When you participate in RENEWAL, you’re part of something much bigger than yourself. Brookhaven clients receive expert care from our team of mental professionals.

Previous studies have equated one joint to five cigarettes with regards to lung damage. However, a new study equates one joint to the damage risk of smoking 20 cigarettes. The study, published in the European Respiratory Journal, stated that those who had smoked on average one joint a day over ten years were 5.7 times more likely to develop lung cancer than those who do not smoke.

According to Dr. Richard Beasley, M.B. Ch.B., of the Medical Research Institute of New Zealand, marijuana smoke has twice as many carcinogenic polyaromatic hydrocarbons than tobacco. Additionally, marijuana users inhale differently, much deeper, and do not use filters, a bad combination. Due to the prevalence of cannabis use, it is a good idea for physicians to ask suspect patients if they are smoking marijuana. The following is an excerpt of an article from Medpage Today that goes into greater detail about the study:

Lung cancer patients were identified from hospital databases or the national cancer registers from 2001 through 2005. Most had non-small-cell lung cancer (80%) and none had lung metastasis from a distant primary.

The proportion of controls who had ever smoked cannabis was 36% after adjustment for the general population age distribution.

Overall, 26.6% of lung cancer patients in the study reported smoking at least 20 joints in their lifetime, whereas 12% of control participants had.

For every one joint-year — the equivalent of one joint per day for one year — smoked, the risk of lung cancer rose 8% (relative risk 1.08, 95% confidence interval 1.02 to 1.15).

The association between cannabis and lung cancer was strengthened with adjustment for the growth rate of lung cancer, by excluding exposure in the five years before baseline or diagnosis (RR 1.10, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.18), “as would be expected if a causal association existed.”

The association was similar to the 7% risk seen for each pack-year of tobacco smoking (RR 1.07, 95% CI 1.05 to 1.09).
